Bicol mountains

"We have finally reached our fourth and final leg of our Bicol exploration at the summit of Mt. Malinao (1,400 masl)! There was not much to see here as we were not granted any clearing of its big crater, but we are truly happy and grateful that we were able to complete 4 mountains in 4 days safely.

"This beauty is located at Bacon, Sorsogon City, Philippines and stands at 1020masl. Our hike reminded me of my previous Mt. Makiling Traverse, which featured a dense rainforest, continuous ascents, and... annoying leeches. A trip to the summit rewards you with a unique view overlooking Mt. Pulog's dormant caldera, as shown here." — ramng • Apr 11, 2015

"Fifth summit! The trail was mostly 70-80 degree assaults; you'd have to use your hands to get going. The place is largely forested, with tall thick foliage to shade one from the heat. Birds that produce sounds akin to someone tripping off the alarm can be heard echoing throughout. One concern would be the presence of "tiger limatik" (blood leeches) in the summit. The "lake" was dry during my visit and according to our guide, it will be water-filled from August to December." — celinethemoonelf • May 23, 2014

"This is an attempt to summit Mt. Mayon. Due to the weather condition that is beyond tolerable, we were not able to summit and stop at 2096MASL...We will definitely try again next year." — buladluoy • Aug 29, 2011
